What is enlightenment exactly? How can we, as human beings, fit in with the universal mind? How do we know when we are pure, enlightened or conscious? Does anything change when we die? Will we ever know the entire truth about our universe or is our brain incapable of comprehending such a vast knowledge? These are questions that roam through my mind almost constantly, and I guess I'm not the only one.
Somehow I think that Dublin, Ireland residents Mount Soma often reflect on these issues. Their mind seems to wander around somewhere in our massive universe while their bodies use earthly instrumentation to express their thoughts and reach that higher state. They formed this band in 2014, after playing in several other acts before, so it seems like these guys know what they're doing. What they're doing exactly? Well, they're doing doom.
'Origins' consists of two monolithic and psychedelic stoner doom tracks, connected by the calm and subdued title track. 'Nebula' and 'Lazarus' are elaborate pieces of doom, often harsh, often soothing but always immersive. Personally, I'd chose 'Lazarus' as my favorite track, since this is a stunning and quite adventurous piece of work, but recommendation-wise, I'd say check it out. This is quite an impressive release and an excellent teaser for a (hopefully) upcoming full-length.
